Cover Letter Check Points

One page, brief, concise, and to the point

First paragraph: Grab the recipient’s attention. State exactly why you sent your resume; i.e., you are interested in the company, and you want to fill a need they have. Indicate any connections between the employer and yourself (work in same field, same professional interest, you have been following the company in the news).Second paragraph: Briefly state the skills you bring to the table that will specifically meet the employer’s needs. There is no need for great detail as the resume will provide specifics. Highlight how you will use your talents and experience to benefit the company.

Close the letter: Indicate what you would like to happen next. State how you can be reached and that if you don’t hear from them within a few days, you will follow-up with a phone call to make sure your resume and cover letter have reached the intended recipient.
